This chocolate pudding cake recipe is so good. You’re going to love it. It’s the perfect combination of cake and pudding goodness, and so good served hot with vanilla ice cream. I love to serve it for a dinner party, because guests always love it, and you can do most of it ahead, and then put it in the oven while you’re eating dinner and serve it to your guests still warm.
